Wind 20  – 25 knts SE overcast morning the forecast is for strong winds until Mon

Mick and Roz had booked into accommodation in Cairns as they had arrived late last night so we met them in town to join them for breakfast. Even though the wind was blustery it was pleasant to stroll along the boardwalk in front of the marina catching up on news from the south.

We ate breakfast at cafe one and although they forgot to cook our meals without a long wait then a reminder we enjoyed the simple fare.

John and I drove back to Yorkeys to finish our replies to the lawyer and conference with him until Mick and Roz arrived mid afternoon.

John, Mick and Roz enjoyed a couple of  relaxing drinks overlooking the ocean from the club verandah before we went to dinner . Driftaway restaurant is part of the yacht club and appears to do a roaring trade nightly. Meals were good value for money especially as we get 5% off as part of the marina hospitality.

After unsuccessfully raiding the chocolate machine we retired to O’vive for nightcaps and you guessed it, Chocolate. Mick ruined John’s last hope of getting chocolates by tilting the machine. Kids!!

Tomorrow we might get a guest blogger.
